7. - EMIGRATION. The State of Emigration from England, may be judged of by the return from Liverpool. NI , e annex an abstract from a return from the 7th May, 1833, to the 30th De cember, 1837, of all emigrants who have left the port of London to settle in our colonies, and in the United States ; from the whole return it appears that there were 1,416 ships, with a tonnage or 636,336 tons, and 26,495 seamen, employed in carrying from the shores of Bri tain 113,172 persons, of all ages and sexes. It will strike the most indifferent observer, that out of that large number from one port, only 8,379 have gone to the Canadas an d B r i t i sh colonies in North America, whilst the large number of 99,635 have gone to the United States of America. At this time, in particu lar,. when the Canadas are in revolt, and when thou sands of our troops arc to be sent out to bring under subjection and keep in a state of military occupation these free provinces, what advantage, as a place for our emigrants to go to, can he expected ? What will the other advantages of commerce, &c., be with colony un d er such circumstances ? Although thea number of emigramts to the Canadas are small, we know, from Sir FRANCIS HEAD'S answer to the address f rom T oronto, that the settlers were then fly ing from the province of Upper Canada, as from a pestilence, to settle in the United States—a proof that, although there he light taxation in the Canadas, there are other evils which induce them to prefer the United States to the British Province,. It is natural for English, Scotch, and Irish to go to join their brethren in Upper Canada, if the state of the province, and the disputes so long existing in the colony, did not prevent them. In the settling the present unhappy state of both the Canadas, we hope that Ministers will, by a general amnesty, do their best to allay the excitement, which all persons allow, have had strong and long-continued causes to produce. The accounts received from Liverpool gives a Table of the number of emigrants from that port during the past year, of which '.he following is an abstract : 'British Colonies in North America 2,264 United St a t es o f America 28,737 Cape of Go o d H ope and Mauritius 51 Australian C o l on i es 202 West Indies 45 East Indie s South Ame r i ca and Brazils 97 77 Gibraltar a n d S pa i n 158 Grand Total of Persons In 1836 the total number of persons who had emigrated under the supervision of Lieut. How, was 32,831, showing a decrease in the past year of 808 persons, mainly attributable to the commercial embarrassments of the United States of America, and the unsettled state of affairs in Lower Canada. Of 3,760 complaints lodged at Lieut. How's office by emi grant's against passengers' brokers, only 894 had been re dressed, owing to the defective state of the passengers' Act. These results sufficiently indicate the utility of Captain How's appointment, though there is not a doubt but that if he were applied to in the first instance by the passengers, much loss and inconvenience might be spared to the poorer emigrants, and an end be very shortly put to the disgraceful system hi therto carried on by the emigration agents. WINDSOR -SUNDAY. The severity of the weather prevents the Q from oing out ; h er M a j esty only left the castle once ueen during the past week. Viscounts Melbourne and Palmerston left the castle yesterday for town, and Sir Henry Wheatley this morning. The Queen did not attend Divine service this morning at St. George's chapel, neither was their any private service at the castle. After luncheon her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, accompanied by the Baroness Lohten, walked for some time on the terrace. Tuesday next her Majesty will leave Windsor for Bucking ham Palace. The royal dinner party yesterday was the same as on Friday, with the exception of Lords Melbourne and Palmerston. COURT CIRCULA.R. The Duchess of Cambridg e and the Princess Augusta of Cambridge attended Divine S erv i ce yesterday morning, in Grosvenor Chapel, S ou th A u dl ey-street. The Duchess of Cambridge, Prince George, and the Princess Augusta of Cambridge, attended by Miss Kerr, Baron Kneseback, and Colonel Cornwall, honoured the Opera Butra at the Lyceum, on Saturday evening, with their presence. A Cabinet Council was held at half-past two o'clock on Saturday afternoon, at the Foreign-office. It was attended by Viscount Melbourne, the Lord Chancellor, Viscount Dun canon, Lord John Russell, Viscount Palmerston, Lord G lenelg, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Earl of Minto, Lord Holland, Mr. Poulett Thomson, and Viscount Howick. The Council sat till six o'clock. Viscounts Melbourne and Palmerston arrived in town from Windsor Castle, shortly before the meeting of the Council. Mr. John Wood, Chairman of Stamps, had an interview !fith the Chancellor of the Exchequer on Saturday, in Down mg -street. Despatches were sent off on Saturday evening from the Colonial -office, for the Governor of Gibraltar. At the Chapel Royal, St. James's, yesterday, the sermon Was preached by Archdeacon Hamilton. NEWCASTLE-ON -TYNE, SATURDAY. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) A public meeting of the merchants, ship-owners, and coal_ owners was held this day, in the Long Room of the Turk's Head Inn,. the Mayor of Newcastle in the Chair, for the pur pose of taking into consideration the absolute necessity there Is for additional facilities in the shipment of coals from the river Tyne, in consequence of the vastly increasing quantity of that mineral brought to that river by the several railways in the county of Durham. Mr. Ingham, M. P. for South Shields, delivered an exce ll ent address on the occasion, in which he pointed out the great advnntages that must accrue to the ship p i ng i nterest, as well as the coal-owners of this dis trict, if docks were formed in the Tyne for the shipment of C oals. A Prospectus, ably drawn up, was exhibited to the fleeting, pointing out the Eastern end of Jarrow Slake as desirdesirPresenting by nature the finest site that can be conceived or ed. A dock, co n t a i n i ng an area o f 20 acres, may be ed th ere , on ground at present entirely unproductive ; a depth of water, exceeding 18 feet at low water, may be ob tained and preserved, at its entrance ; there will be a ready access to it from all the railways formed and forming, and the i‘ture of the ground around is peculiarly favourable for the a!andage of waggons, and other operations attendant on the 311 4) 11- lent of coals. The sum of 200,0001. may he assumed, as the utmost ex tent of capital that will be required for the execution of the whole of the works, with the approaches and shipping places, including the purchase of the land, which capital it is pro- Posed to raise in 4,000 shares, of 501. each, under the autho ry of an A c t o f P ar li ament, l im i t i ng the liability of each s harehold er to the amount of his share. An assurance that the cost of the works will not exceed the estimaie is afforded to the public, by the offer of an opulent ftake ir m, conversant i n pu bli c works of a similar nature, to under and guarantee the performance of th e wor k f or t h e am ount of the esti mate . The f o ll ow i ng is a very moderate estimate of the revenue which may be fairly calculated upon, which will give a return exceeding 101. per cent, on the capital proposed to be in vested : MTATEMENT OF REVENUE AND ANNUAL CHARGES. bock dues, &c., on the shipment of one million £ s. d. tons of coals, at 6d.

THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, JANUARY 15, 1835. muchpower in England, but that power i s f as t d ec li n i ng _(!fear, hear.) We have upon the throne a beautiful young creature who loves her people, and is determined to do them justice. I thank his Lordship, who has often seen her, for ' , is idea about her bright eye and her elegant gesture, which throw around her greatness a feminine softness and loveliness, that make her as much adored as she is admired.—(Hear, 'rear, and cheers.) 'Whatever may be the loyalty of her sub .ecis in the other portions of the Empire, in Ireland she will always be safe.—(Tremendous cheering.) I know there is a calumny against me that I abandoned the 40s, freeholders en condition of obtaining emancipation. Nothing cnn be more .abominably false. No one calumny of the many that are spread concerning me is more unfounded than that. I trll you bete, my Lords and Gentlemen, that I consider exten sion of the franchise as necessary as was Catholic, Empanci tion, or as is Municipal Reform. Municipal Reforrit is Abs :olutely necessary—our Corporations now are rotten. Where is the Corporator present who will stand up to de c'end his beloved body ? By the bye, the old watchmen are ;,Tone, and their friends, the Corporators, please God, will soon follow.—( Cheers.) Oh, for ono theatrical exhibition of the corporators and the watchmen.—(Laughter.) It would be worth laughing at. My Lord, I beg pardon for occupy ing you so long with such a worthless set as the Corporators; but the last and most importont measure which we require is the final and total extinction of titbes.—(Loud and long continued cheering.) Nothing less—nothing but that will do. Russian tyranny in Poland and Prussian tyranny in Cologne, and the oppression of the Grand Seignior in Turkey in Asia dwindle into nothing, and cease to be considered great, when compared with British tyranny exercised in this unfortunate country.—( Hear, bear.) We will no longer bear this oppres ive burden.—( Hear, hear.) Tithes must be abolished.— ( Cheers.) Let no man mistake me. I am quite ready to admit that the present possessors of tithes, upon their aboli tion, are entitled to compensation. I say, let not vested rights be taken away without some compensation being given in their stead. Let the nation give such compensation, and let us thus show that we are entitled to and seek for the good will of our Protestant brethren.--( Hear, hoar.) My Lord, whatever may have been my political conduct in other respects, I do claim my meed of approbation for my constant support of the Queen's present Ministry.—( Hear, hear.) I may be as sailed by the Radicals of England for my determination in this respect. They may differ from me as far as England is con cerned, but as for Ireland they are totally mistaken. But, by the bye, these Radicals are not so ardent in Irish affairs as could be desired. They think it proper to accuse me of insincerity. They may accuse me, perhaps, of being mistaken, and their accusation may be true, but they cannot say I am insincere.— ( Hear, and cheers.) Though I differ frora them on this one question, I agree with them in every other.—(Hear.) I am for Vote by Ballot---( Hear, hear)—the honest Ballot, that will protect every one in the exercise of that right which the law has vested in him, which will protect the poor man frora the persecution of the rich, and will enable the honestly-in clined voter to return to Parliament the man whom he may think best qualified to represent his wants and wishes.— (Hear.) Yes, the Ballot will do all this, and for that reason lam in favour of it. lam likewise in favour of an extension of the franchise. I think it absolutely necessary, and I think it unjust and impolitic to refuse it.—( Hear, hear.) Yes, I am certainly for an extension of the suffrage.—(Cheers.) My own opinion is in favour of universal suffrage ; but then I will not quarrel with the man or set of men who will give us even the smallest extension.---(Hear.) As long as we have a good Government, that will give us good and liberal laws, I am content ; but if a bad Ministry should come again into office, here I am still ready and willing to return again to the old system of agitation, and I will never desist from it until I shall he triumphant.--( Hear, hear, and loud cheers.) As for the other question which has lately arisen, and which now occupies a great deal of public attention, the hour is too late, and this perhaps is not a proper place nor a .rood op portunity f or discussing it. I will al w ays b e f oun d uniting loyalty and allegiance to the throne with a firm and uncom promising determination to support the liberty of my country. will yield to none in zealous attachment and unbroken alle giance to the Sovereign ; nor will I ever desist from exerting every moral influence to procure the political amelioration of Ireland.—( Loud cheers.) It is a glorious struggle we are engaged in. I will not allude to the moral force that is added to our endeavours by their being identified by the name of Charlemont.—( Loud cheers.) It is not surprising to see your Lordship supporting the cause of liberty.—( Hear, hear.) It is impossible that Irishmen ever should forget the magic name of Charlemont. No, they never will. It lives, and will continue to live, in the hearts of Irishmen—( Hear.) Long as liberty is dear to us, as long as we remember it, so long will we remember what Charlemont was, and so long will it be im possible for us to forget what Charlemont is.--( Loud cheers.) But, my Lord, I must pass by—l must avoid this topic. It 'a, perhaps too overwhelming at the present period ; at least it is overwhelming to me. Well, then, we are grateful to the ministry for their determination and exertions to do good for Ireland. We are grateful to the chivalrous Mulgrave and the good Morpeth.—(Cheers.) We are gratefal to them, be cause in every act and every appointraent of theirs they seem to he actuated but by one object—the benefit of the country vhich they have been appointed to govern. But, above all, we are grateful to our youthful Queen.—(Cheers.) Let Irishmen rally one and all for old Ireland. Let Irish mothers who have witnessed the spirit-stirring occurrences of this nie,sl,t instil into the minds of their children the remembrance of the eompact that has been made here this night—the pledge, which I will again repeat, has been given never to desist from eeaceful agitation until we place Ireland upon a perfect equality with England and Scotland. The Hon. and Learned Gentle man sat down amidst enthusiastic cheering. Mr. HUTTON next presented himself, and was received with applause.

( Hear, hear)—and with regard to it, I think the Parliament have made a wise and proper arrangement. It will not be as it was of old. The inveterate enemies of the people, and of every just measure of Reform, will not be the persons supported at the public expense. In a word, pensions will not be granted to the enemies of the people.—( Great cheering.) I will just make one remark more upon this topic, and it is, that I could have wished that the Government had placed the duchies of Cornwall and Lancaster at the disposal of the House of Com mons. I have no doubt that the present Ministers are de termined, as far as in their power, to remedy every grievance the people have to complain of.—(Hear, hear, hear.) There are questions of foreign policy to which I need not now advert. The disturbances in Canada are calculated to cause some alarm and embarrassment ; but the facts connected with them are not as yet rightly known to us, and as the materials for judging of them are not now before me, I shall not touch upon that subject.—( H ear , h ear .) I w ill on l y say t h at l am sure that Ministers, whilst they will concede every measure of justice which the subjects of the crown in the colonies de mand,they will, at the s ame t i me, support t h at po li cy b est calculated to maintain the interest of Great Bt itain. The cause of Toryism is in a hopeless condition. On a late memorable occasion, when the Tories thought proper to assail the Government, they were deserted and abandoned except by the member for Bandon and the member for Cole raine,who made his maid en speec h , and wh i ch s h a ll l ong be reme rn leered by all wllO heard it. Indeed it would he cha ritable to' try to forget it.—( The hon. gentleman sat down amidst loud cheers.)

N ow I cannot agree with that sentiment ; for I believe that nothing can be final but that which emanates from the Deity.—(Cheers.) I cannot think that we should fear revolution ; for every great change made in the destinies of mankind and of empires are revolutions. The Reform Bill itself was a revolution ; every great and good measure that e'er was passed for the benefit of society was a revolution ; the power of the press was a revolution ; the great march of civilisation was a continued revolution.—( Loud cheers.) In the early ages of the world, when man was in an uncivilized state, the fair sex were then considered no bet ter than slaves. They are now our sovereigns and queens (looking over towards the splendid array of beauty and fashion in the boxes), our solace and our happiness. —( Loud cheers. ) This was a revolution; and where is the man who will dare to say that it is not a revolution advantageous to us.—Continued cheering.) I have hopes that Ministers will accede to the just demands of the people; and I trust at least they will give way on the question of the Ballot.—( Loud cheers.) The Hon.

TILE GRAND REFORM BANQUET. This great demonstration of attachment to four of Ireland'! worthiest and best tried friends, and of adherence to the great principles of Reform and civil liberty, for the perfection o' which they have been so long struggling, has passed over, a nt i passed over triumphantly. The pit and stage of our Royal Theatre were thrown int an extensive hall reaching from the roar of the stage, which opened up to its fullest extent, to the front of the boats About the middle of the stage, which, by the way, was fitted up as a gigantic tent, and brilliantly lighted, a circular table of considerable extent was placed for the principal guests. Upwards of seven hundred gentlemen sat down to dinner. At the head of the principal table sat " Ireland's llere ditary Patriot," The Right Hon. the Earl of CIIARLEMONT. On his right were seated Lord Brabazon, M. P. ; Rober. Hutton, Esq., M. P. ; Lord Fingal', Lord Lismore, Lord Crcmorne, Sir John Kennedy, Bart. ; .John O'Connell, Esq. M. P. ; Henry Grattan, Esq., M.P., and James Power, Esq., M. P. ; and on the left were seated Daniel O'Connell, Esq., M.P. ; George Evans, Esq., M. P. ; Lard Cloncurry, Richard Sheil, EN., M. P. ; Lord Roscommon, Morgan O'Connell, Esq., M. P. ; Sir Percy Nugent, Bart. ; Nicho las Ball, Esq., M. P. ; John Maher, Esq., M. P., and Pierce Mahony, Esq., M. P. The Vice-Presidents who presided at the four principal tables were George Roe, John Power, Peter Purcell, and Ignatius Callaghan, Esqrs. After the cloth was removed, about half-past eight o'clock, The NOBLE CnAtituss rose, and was received with loud cheers. He said—Gentlemen, when I look upon such an assembly of true Irish hearts, I know not in what fitting lan guage to address you.—( Loud cheers.) I must call upon you to bear with me, for my feelings are too big for word s . Th e scene I look upon fills me with the conviction that justice must be done to our country.--( Hear, hear.) You have assembled here, gentlemen, to entertain four individuals, chosen by the free, unbiassed, and determined votes of their constituents ; four gentlemen deserving of the confidence you have placed in them ; four gentlemen whose conduct always merited the honour you have bestowed upon them. Two of them have never been assailed; and the other two, I am convinced, defy the most atrocious conspiracy which can be hatched to defeat the wishes of the public.—( Hear, hear.) Gentlemen, I have stated that the immediate ,object of our meeting was to do honour to those four gentlemen ; but we have another object, and that is to show that the Reform Bill must not be a dead letter.—(Cheers.) Our meeting is an indication that we win never cease the zealous and virtuous exertions in which we are engaged till full and ample justice be done to our country. I should like to know why a distinction is made between Ireland _ . __ . . . and other portions of the British empire. It is a distinction I spurn, for, Gentlemen, we are equal to any of them. I hare a toast to propose to you ; it is the health of our young, gra cious, and constitutional Queen.---(Tremendous cheering, during which the company rose ) " The Queen." (Three times three, and one cheer more.) Air—" God sere the Queen." The CitAtitssAN then rose again and gave " The People." (Three times three, and loud cheers.) Air—" St. Patrick's Day." " The Duchess of Kent." (Nine times nine, and un. bounded applause.) Air—" Here's a health to all good lasses." " The health of the Duke of Sussex and the Royal Family resident in England."—(Great cheering.) Air—Hail, Star of Brunswick." The Noble CHAIRMAN again rose and said—ls there a heart that beats within the bosom of any individual that hears me that does not swell at the mention of Mulgrave ?—( Here the whole company rose, and a simultaneous cheer issued from all parts of the assembly.) Gentlemen, I will not say—for God forbid that should be the case—we ne'er shall look upon his like again; but this I will say, we ne'er have looked upon his like before.—( Hear, hear.) Lord Mulgrave has a truly phi lanthropic heart—a true desire for the happiness and liberty of the whole of the human race.—( Cheers.) The friend of liberty and of man in the West Indies—( Hear, hear)—the friend of liberty and of man here.—(Loud cheers.) " Lord Mulgrave and Justice to Ireland."—(Tremendous applause.) Air, " Patrick's Day." The CHAIRMAN then rose and said—Gentlernea, I am abet'. t to propose the health of two gentlemen who hays been fairly, freely, honestly, and truly chosen by the citizens of Dublin as their representatives.—( Cheers.) Gentlemen, one of them is possibly the most extraordinary man of his day—possibly the most extraordinary that any age has ever produced. It is in) opinion that the illustrious individual of whom I speak was chosen by Providence for the part which he has taken. —( Hear, hear.) With eloquence unrivalled, with talents unequalled, with a determination which has never allowed him to abandon the ranks of the phalanx which he first joined, no individual who is capable of appreciating his merit can refuse him the tribute of his praise and admiration.—(Loud cheers.) He persevered in the same uniform and admirable c ,urse, to Ca) risk, aye, and the loss of his personal property, his leisure, and in some degree his happiness. Such is and has been my opi nion of this great man ; but if anything wer e wan t e d t o f u ll y convince me of the vaue of his character and exertions it would be supplied by what he has been doing within those fen days.—(Loud cheers.) Why, what has he done? For man) days, contrary to his own popularity, in despite of all opposi tion, he has declared himself against & system too prevalent and too popular in this city. —( Hear, and loud cheers.) Yes, he has been, and is still being, tried in the crucible, and he will come out more pure a n d more va l ua bl e from the trial.— ( Cheers.) I now give you, Gentlemen, " The Members for the City of Dublin"—( Three times three.) Mr. O'CONNELL then rose, and was received with loud and continued cheers. He said—Nothing can be ms:e idle tha's to tell -me that this is a reality. —( Cheers.) Oh no, I have ' been ill for the last week, and a dream has come over me, and I hare wakened in Fairy-land.--( Continued cheering.) What beings are those before me (pointing to the ladies in the boxes.) Had Fairy-land ever any thing like that ? Oh no. If it be reality, we have never before seen such forms as these ; they are fairer than those that youthful poets fancy when the ) lose.—( Loud cheers.) They tell me Ireland is a degraded and an inferior land Oh, men of Ireland lis there one indi vidual among you could look upon those who have co:ne to witness our proceedings to-night and acknowledge inferiorit) in the country of their birth ?—( Hear, and cheers.) If there he one • uch he has eeirage equal ti the braving of the most brave : but oh, at the same time, he has depravity equal to the most depraved.—( Cheers.) Oh, my Lord, it is impossi We but justice must be done to Ireland.—(Tremendous cheering.) Oh, if I be indeed awake this is a glorious waking.—( Great cheering.) But what, after all, has ms life bees but a wonderful day-dream ? Ungifted by talents, rank, or riches—for I was but the son of a private gentlemen with just enough means to meet my expenses. -_a briefless barrister—but that was not long—( Cheers and laughter) -1 have been raised to the situation I now enjoy by my country men. And how have I attained that elevation? By the pos session of one quality alone—that I never:for one moment for got the wrongs of my country.—( Cheers.) I had a per petual fever of Irish agitation about me. When I commenced my career, one of those boxes, if it were emptied of its fair tenants, would contain all who co-operated with me ; but what room is now to be found large enough to hold them ? This is a proud day for Ireland.—( Cheers.) Our assembling here is. with other things, a proof of our devotion to our Queen (God bless her)--(Cheers)—and to the Queen's Ministry.—( Hea-, hear, and continued cheering.) There is no fault to he found with them in regard to Ireland, however we may differ from them in other matters.—( Hear, hear.) They have given us an excellent Lord Lieutenant, whose name is his best praise.—( Cheers.) Mulgrave l Oh it is a name to conjure with.—( Cheers. ) He is the just governor, who knoas no distinction of sect or party—who inquires into no man's religion, but only his conduct. He asks not hoe. any man prays, but how only he acts.—(Continual cheers.) Creed, caste, and colour are to him alike; he recognises in all the image of divinity, and the universal and inalienable claim of liberty. It was said of me, by my ene mies, that when all our grievances were redressed, I wouh: look out for fresh ones, to keep up agitation. What is tin calumny now ? Why that lam too easily satisfied with small concessions, while I ought to hold out even against our friends. careless of the kindnesses they have done us. Oh, that was never my way.—(Cheers.) When I was Called to the bar I had the privilege of wearing a stuff gown if I paid for it ; the sanctum of the inner bar was closed against me. Oh, many and many a day I pitied myself for having to yield tt, the silken superiority where nature had given none. I did not shed the woman's tear; but when 1 entered my dwelling I stamped and vowed that my sons should not hare to suffer this indignity.—(Cheers.) I made another vow, that these sinews shall loose their elasticity, and this form be covered by the earth, before I should consent to admit an inferiority in m) country to England or Scotland ; and your presence here to night, my Lord, proves that you feel so too.—( Loud cheers. during which Lord Charlemont bowed acquiescence to the last observations of Mr. O'Connell.) Yes, my Lord, for m) country is yours, and the land that gave you birth is inferior to none on the face of the earth.—( Loud cheers.) Ido believe no political change should be purchased by one drop of human blood; for blood, instead of cement to the social edifice, act' like sea sand in the foundation of a building, which gradually loosens the firmness of the walls till it falls to pieces —( Hear hear, and cheers.) My Lord, it is acting upon this principl . I have been enabled to achieve what I have done for my coup try.—( Cheers.) There are three things you demand; I deft them to refuse to you after this night. To be sure my silly oh , friend, Burdett, thinks otherwise ; but—(the remainder of tin sentence was lost in an uproar of laughter and hisses.) Oh poor old gentleman, don't hiss him.—( Laughter.) lam ex ceedingly obliged to him, for he makes me the stalking-horse ut his political warfare. He mistook a brood mare for a man-or war ; who knows but he takes me for a frigate?—( Laughter. ) How badly off the Tories arc when they take up gladly with the squeezed orange of Radicalism—the advocate for out-and outerism, universal suffrage, Parliaments once a year, or oftene , if inecessary.—( Laughter.) The Tories never had a greats" compliment to liberal opinions than when they elevated ou' east-off adherent into a leader.—( Cheers.) They have another hero among them cast out from our camp—Sir J. Graham. _( Hisses and laughter.) There is an anecdote of him that is admirably illustrative of his character. I care not how I an' reproached for it-1 will never meet a man ill single combat. Even the influence of this assembly upon me could not induce me to do so. Sir J. Graham knew that when he insulted several of the Irish Members, but principally myself and Mr. O'Gor man Mahon. Well, how further did he act ? Why, he refuse,l to make any concession to me, and to Mr. O'Gorman Maho he made a base and truckling apology.—( Cheers. ) Aye, lc' the Press take it down; he insulted the man he knew he wa` safe from, and truckled to the one he feared.—( Hear, hear. ) Burdett, the renegade, and that paltry truckling. coward, S 1 James Graham. I like to call timings by their right names. — (Hi ar, hear.) Ido not like to speak of anything wh a t I do not think. The English Tories, to be sure, do possess ye, embrace of Britain, the emerald gem, the proudest jewel in the diadem, was by Charlemont preserved, and remains set in, oh ! thank God, no longer the Crown of a stranger. ( Enthusiastic applause.) My Lord, I hail your presence at this meeting as an happy omen. It is not the first time you have graced that Chair, when Irishmen •of every creed, sect, and opinion have met in union. Alter thirty years of strife and contention, when first they met together under the bard of El :n's magic name.—( Tremendous cheers.) You cannot, my Lord, forget the occasion ; I do not forget it ; Ireland does not forget it.—(Cheers.) [Lord Charlemont—l have not forgotten, I cannot forget, and I never shall forget it.—Re peated cheers.) I give you " Lord Charlemont and Old Ireland."—( Continued cheers, and one cheer more.) Air—" guld lang Sync." Lord CHARLkNtopiT rose-4t was some moments before he could proceed, so great was the applause. He said--Gentle. ttien, I never forgot Ireland—l never will forget Ireland.— ( Cheat+ ) I have never shrunk when I could be of service-- I dare not I .P a traitor to Ireland.—( Tremendous cheers.) I said so then—l repeat It now. My endeavours In behalf of Ireland began early, feeble i‘nd inadequate ay !bey were, I was born an agitator.—( Loud cheers.) The first wot - Li my imperfect accents lisped was " Ireland."--(Great cheers.) first sentence my faltering tongue learned to pronounce was " make ready—present--fire."—( Loud cheers, and laughter.) And why ? Because I was born a Yolunteer.—(Tremendous cheering.) Tho first dress I wore was Volunteer uniform. Everything around ma was Volunteer. I heard of nothing but the Volunteers and the cause of Ireland. My excellent parents conversed to me of these things ; nay, the very servants of the house spoke of nothing else. Even while I received the hourly food from my nurse—for I had always a great appetite—( Loud laughter)—l heard the admonition, " 3ou must ever devote yourself to your country." So lam willing to do—l always shall be willing. When past and gone from this life, I could only wish it to be said of Ine. " He served his country."— ( Loud cheers.) Lord CiteuLEAIONT again rose, and gave Lord Melbourne and her Majesty's Ministers."—(Loud cheers.) Other toasts were then given, after which the comilTny broke up. IRELAND. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) DUBLIN, SATURDAY. In the Court of Chancery on Thursday nineteen gentlemen were called to the bar. Every term sees a score or two of young men called to the profession of the law, while one may see any day, by a walk into the Four Courts, a hundred or two who have acquired nothing by that same call but permis sion to wear a powdered wig and stuff gown. There is no profession more overstocked, and none which still has snore candidates for admission. This is ene of the few evil conse quences which have unavoidably arisen from the travels of "the schoolmaster," and the march of intellect. Dr. Nolan, Roman Catholic Bishop of a southern diocese, had forbidden the practice of " wakes" is his district, as they led to much inebriety and immorality. It will be for the ad vantage of the morals of the rising generation if this excel lent example found imitators in the clergy of all denomina tions through the country. Thefac simile of a threatening letter sent to Mr. Thomas O'Brien, of William street, has been posted throughout the city, in hope that the writing may be recognised and the author brought to justice. Ton REGISTRIRS.—The registries are proceeding favour ably for the Reformers in most parts of the country. In Lime rick city the Liberals hare registered 27, and the Tories only 16 ; in Limerick county the Liberals registered 8, and the Tories but 3. In Dundalk, the Liberals have registered 13, and the Tories but 6; in Thomastown the Reformers have re gistered 7, and the Tories only 3. From the Coanty Louth, however, the news is not so cheering, for the Liberals have registered but 6, while the Tories succeeded in having 11 ad mitted to the franchise. However, upon the whole, the suc cess has bee' with us, and the expected returns will, I have good reason to hope, be more favourable. In Dublin County the Liberals have been less active than they should, but they feel that, and a strong effort will be made at the next registry to retrieve a little ground which has been lost. It is a conso lation, however, that in Dublin we can spare a few votes to the enemy, seeing we are hundreds a-head of them. COMBINATION.—Mr. O'Connell, yesterday, visited the Chamber of Commerce, and obtained the signatures of seve ral merchants and employers to a requisition calling a public meeting, to take into consideration the disclosures made by Mr. Connery, that there was a sum of 3s. 3d. a week paid by several of the trades as a " slating rent," to hire ruffians to assault those artisans who broke their regulations, or the employers who took " coults" into their workshops. CORPORATE REFORM, AND VOTB BT BALLOTT.—A meeting of the inhabitants of St. Peter's Parish, in this city, took place yesterday, in the Shelbourne Hotel. Sir James Murray in the Chair. Mr. O'Connell, M. P., and Mr. Henry Grat tan, M.P. were present. The CHAIRMAN briefly explained the ()beds of themeeting. Mr. ROWLANDS moved the adoption o three petitions, on the subject of Corporate Reform, Vote by Ballot, and the total Abolition of Tithes and Ministers' Money, which were read to the meeting by the Secretary. Mr. O'CONNELL then said he rose to second this motion, and to address the meeting upon all the subjects regularly before it. First, Corporate Reform ; second, the Vote by Ballot ; third, the total abolition of Tithes and Ministers' money ; and fourth, the rating clauses of the Poor-law bill. Ile would also, as he' would be obliged to leave them before their proceedings had terminated, anticipate their resolution with reference to combination, as his late exertions to make labour free, and to put an end to the murderous assaults and outrages to which the system had given rise.—( Hear, hear.) That, however, was not the proper place to enter at length upon the subject of combination, since all the gentlemen present, he had reason to believe, agreed with him in the course he had pursued with the trades.--( Hear, hear.) They knew he had, or could have, but one object—the benefit of his constie tucnts in general. The frightful disclosure of Mr. Con nery gave hint fresh cause to pursue the course he had un dertaken. He learned from him with horror that there was in our city an Assassination Club, where men may be hired to commit any enormity. Three recent murders proved that it still existed.—( Hear, hear.) The assasination of Ganley alone, if there had been no other, was sufficient to fill all good men with horror and indignation. He (Mr. O'Con nell) would, he fully expected, been a few days in a state to prove that it was committed by individuals hired for the pur pose ; and this cruel murder arose out of his having violated some regulation of the egg market.—( Hear, hear.) It was mixing what was ludicrous in the extreme with all that was moat horrible and revolting. —( Hear, hear, and cheers.) The carpenters with whom he was chiefly engaged on the subject of combination, be had learned with pleasure, were led to adopt this course against him, which they had chiefly because they were his political enemies.—( Hear, hear.) Some good men among them, it was true, might be duped into a belief that they were defending their interests and that of their trade ; but at the bottom of all was an Orange couspi racy. The O'Briens, he believed, were not themselves men of bad character; but all he knew of them personally was the ferocious attack made upon him by one of thera.—( Hear.) The carpenters were principally belonging to the Orange faction. The Hanbridge conspiracy against the Marquis of Wellesley, originated among the carpenters—( heer and cheers),—and the trade formed a lodge or society of St. Paul's from which Catholics were carefully excluded ; for they were, in fact, the Orange institution under another name. This body has great interest in getting employment, and by giving work to the Catholics in the trade they contrived to make them their dupes and adherents—( Hear and cheers.) He said this to show there was some apology for the misled portion of them. The men who had assailed him were put forward by that faction. The disclosure made by Mr. Connors' came over him with a frightful effect; hut he had since learned that it was even worse than he anticipated. Many persors had told him that the slating system was adopted by a great number of the trades, and that those members of them who refused to subscribe to the " slating rent" had the horrid al ternative offered to them of becoming slaters themselves, and if they consented they were regularly ballotted for, and when any deed of horror was to be committed, those upon whom the lot fell were sent forth to murder their unoffending neighbours. —( Hear, hear.) A gentleman who had witnessed the murder of Hanlon, told him that though the first blow killed, some young men, clean and well-dre.ssed fellows, who were of the party, were forced to strike the dead body with their sticks that they might be participators in the crime.—( Hear, hear.) Did people believe that blood thus shed would sink in the earth and be forgotten, or that God's arm was grown too short for vengeance. In vain might they hope, even upon this earth, the murderers would suffer the penalty of their transgressions. lie (Mr. O'Connell) could not cease his ex ertions while there was ally hope of rooting out this foul sprit, and if he did not succeed he would never again consent to represent Dublin ; for he could not exist in connection with a city where men might be murdered for hire.—( Cheers. ) The next subject on which he had to address the meeting was that of Corporation Reform. If the city had had a good Corpora tion, the crimes he had detailed could never have happened. But the police were the Creatures of the Corporation, and two-thirds of their Magistrates chosen from them—there being one Sheriff's Peer and one Alderman in each office. Nothing connected with the Corporation was respected—the people even thought it a meritorious act to resist their authority, and it was scarcely extraordinary, fur a more base, beggarly, and bigoted body never existed—they were even worse than the Billy Welters themselves.--( Hear, and laughter.) Not only did they exclude Catholics from their society but liberal Protestants. His friend beside him (Mr. Henry Grattan, M. P.) has as little chance of being admitted among them from the time he commenced his course of hereditary patriotism as had he ( Mr. O'Connell) himself. Nay, lie believed they would have preferred electing him ( Mr. O'Con nell).--( Cheers and laughter.) But the people would soon have an opportunity of putting better men in their paces. It would not have been necessary to have paid the taxes to vote for Corporate officers. Every one who had a house worth 101. would be qualified, and we then would have a Common Council, of whom, at least, one-third would be Protestants.— ( Cheers.) With respect to Vote by Ballot, to which he had next to call their attention, they all knew lie was a warm a-I mirer of it. The right of voting was in many cases a curse without the protection of the Ballot. He had, previous to the last election, canvassed some tailors in Dawson -street who were actually afield to vote fur him, though if the ballet had been in operation he would not have thought it necessary to canvas them at all, they would voluntarily have come to vote for him.—( Hear, hear.) But, Sir, we must have the Bal. lot—(Cheere)—and we must have C or p ora t e Reform.—(Con tinued cheering.) But above all we must have a total aboli tion of tithes and ministers' money.—( Cheers.) Now, Sir, I am come to the subject of poor-laws. I am not going to op pose the principle, though I believe poor-laws never served any country in the world. They had a cheering sound, parti cularly when such misery was around us; but that misery was produced by political causes, absenteeism. If the largest man, or, suppose a giant, L . :kd the smallest vein in his body opened and left to bleed, the Cha7rrnan could tell them that it would cause instant death.—(Chi,'rs.) But Ireland was bleed:ng at every vein. His (Mr. O'Con'nell's) poor-law would keep the landlord at home.—( Cheers.) Mr. O'Con nell then left the room, the meeting giving three hei;rty cheers. Mr. H. GRATTAN, M.P., then addressed the me "tin; at considerable length on the same subject; after which r.".50 1 °- tions were adopted on the several questions before the mott ing. The assembly then broke up. DUBLIN-FRIDAY. (FROM OUR Ow N CoRREsPONPENT.) " Is this a dinner, this a genial room ? No, 'tis a temple, and a hecatomb."—Port. The Metropolitan Dinner came off yesterday in this city, En a truly splendid style. It exceeded anything ever before wit nessed in this country, both in the extent and magnificence of the feast prepared, and in the spirit and enthusiasm with which it was attended by all classes of the friends of Reform. You kayo been already informed that it was got up for the purpose of complimenting our City and County Representatives, and of testifying for O'Connell, in particular, the increasing love and confidence of his countrymen, at a juncture no less criti cal in his own personal history, than in that of Ireland—and, certainly, the most sanguine expectant has not been disap pointed in the result. But as 'esti have been supplied, from other quarters, with more ample deteils ef the proceedings on this joyful event, I shall confine my obserrtztion to such inci dents connected with the national importance of the affair, and with my own anticipations, as occurred to .myself and a few others present on the occasion. In my last communication I intheated that the sentlennute of this portion of the United Kingdom, with regard to the ensur section in Canada, might be disclosed at this dinner; aDd that, if so, they would be found very different from the pro bable expectations of many persons acquainted with the feel ings and disposition of Irishmen. I have been no otherwise wrong in this intimation, than in having probably conveyed a eetien, that the state of Canada would undergo some popular discussion; or be tiguded to more generally than it has been. It was, in fact, generai:V believed it would; and there were not a few persons who thOug:tt that in so large a company, in cluding all shades of Reformerls such sentiments as were ex pressed at the Crown aid Anchor, in London, might flow from some of the speakers. The result, ,however, has show's, that in this respect I rightly collected the op:oi° 11 ' of my country men, and transmitted them to you by antici.i'ation. No allu sion whatever was made to the revolted eolcallys exeept by O'Connell in that part of his speech wherein he s','etee—that whatever occurred in other portions of her Majesty ' 4l domi nions, Ireland would, under such governors as we ha"e at present, be found the brightest jewel in Queen Victoria's/ diadem. He made no further comment on a topic which has so much engrosses. l the attention of the United Kingdom during the present ParLamentary recess. Whether his omis sion to expatiate upon the ssbiect so largely and so eloquently as he is wont to do, in all matters which in any way attract the sympathies of Irishmen, proceeded siva accident or dis cretion, I cannot say. In either case he is the - exponent, and explicitly declared the present views and feelings of Ireland. And, as I have already said, these feelings are totally and al. together different from what they would hare been under similar circumstances, if the Tories were at the head of affairs. So that it may be assumed as a proposition demon strated, that England is under a Whig Government much less embarrassed by the disaffection of any of her colonies than she could be under a Tory regime. This, perhaps, may be thought the only new light thrown upon the posture of pub lic affairs by this convivio-political meeting; and it might hive shone forth with mole brilliancy and splendour, had no: O'Connell, as will be seen by the reports, been almost neces sarily forc:J by the scene before him to dilate on topics more immediately co t ssiected with his own career of struggle on be half of his country. But I can mention another incident equally novel and interes:jag to the more profound observers of passing events. Lord Charlemont, in the diss.:.}.large of his duties as Presi dent, which he went tkrough with as: ability and spirit worthy of his hereditary patriotism, observed that O'Connell was now engaged in one of the most important enteillrises of his whole life. He alluded to his efforts to put owe' combination amongst tradesmen. This, said his Lordship, deoonstrates, more than anything in which I hare known him to be hitherto engaged, the extraordinary power and character of our highly gifted guest. We have known enough of him heretofore , to be assured that be was endowed with an indomitable coureges such as could not be subdued by ordinary difficulties. ever thought him susceptible of fear, from one extrentSt of that power and influence which is always ready to assail the patriot, and divert him from his purpose—the " voltas instren-- cis tgranni?" We have long known him invincible on that side ; his recent collision with, and triumph over the deluded tradesmen of this metropolis, show that be is equally so on the other. " Non civium order prava jubentium." By neither extreme will he suffer himself to be deterred, muck less de feated, in his endeavours to promote the welfare of his country. This is the highest compliment ever paid to O'Connell, or that could be paid to any public man ; and coming from suck a man as Lord Charlemont, and at such a crisis, is strongly illustrative of his principles and policy. It is conveyed in the most felicitous and flattering language and quotation, that could possibly be employed—but circumstances justify it. O'Connell's strong sympathies with the great bulk of his countrymen, his detestation of the poiiey under which they have been oppressed, and his ardent desire to redress their wrongs, hare often forced him into the use of words and the adoption of expedients which may have alarmed or misled many well-meaning persons. His conduct, however; within the last few years, is admirably calculated to disabuse men's minds of any false or mistaken notions. And the success, which he has now almost obtained in detecting and putting down combination, will confirm the sceptical in the good opi nions they are beginning to entertain of him. The next incident deserving of remark is, that Sheil was at the dinner, but did not speak—to the great disappointment of all acquainted with the characteristics of his eloquence and patriotism, and the peculiar times and circumstances under which to make a display of both. To a genius of his dramatic turn, the vast assemblage and brilliancy of the entire coup presented by the theatre, fitted up as it was with great taste and elegance, must have given a considerable stimulant, inde pendently of the expanded views now open to every statesmen of ordinary capacity of intellect. He remained until after eleven o'clock and then withdrew, just as the company were beginning to be impatient to hear him. Whether he felt unwell, was dissatisfied with the arrangement of the toasts, or was unwilling to fling the flowers of his oratory amongst an audience, many of whom, by the solicitations of Morpheus, or some other influence, might be prevented from egtilalating them as they deserved, was a matter of doubt at the moment, nor have I heard any positive solution of the question since ; but a great many with whom I conversed, both before and after he made his exit, offered the following explanation. Dinner had been announced at half-past six s the majority of the company, however, were not admitted to the tables till half-past seven, and the consumption process had not com menced generally before eight o'clock. So that it was nine o'clock at least before the first toast was given. Now those who arranged the toasts ought to have known that every gen. tletnan capable of speaking anything deserving of being lis tened to, should like like to have an opportunity of doing so before twelve o'clock. Sheil has not made a public speech for some time, and therefore, his observations and views of the political horisoa were expected with great curiosity. But the arrangements were certainly such as to expose the company to the chance of losing that pleasure even though the learned gentleman was well-disposed to gratify them. This is the only loss the sempany had to deplore from the management of the committee. No reasonable complaint can be made on any other point. Most of the committee were respectable and intelligent citizens of Dublin, having no other object in view than to elicit public opinion on the most important topics of the day, in a manner the most agreeable and social that can be! devised. Some few gentlemen, however, who belong, not to the constituency of the county or city of Dublin, were not only laudably busied about the management of the affair; but contrived to have their names published in the newspapers with a few others, as if they were the sole movers and supporters 04 the liberal demonstrations on the occasion. There is no Ilene whatever in this, further than it dispenses with and alienates the exertions of some whose example would better, becau . se more legitimately, promote the public good. If this petty jobbing for motives, always concealed, could be put an end to, or eoutrolled as much in Ireland as elsewhere, there is no country in which a more sincere demonstration of public virtue could be had on all necessary occasions. But it is incredible how much this impedes the progress of the liberal cause, and it is the duty of the public press to animadvert on it on all fitting opportunities. That distinction which most men are ambitious of amongst their neiobours, should in such matters be always conceded to pers.ms of the best property, intelli- ' genC2, and character, in preference to those whose only claims are their forwardness and taste—l shall not say private interest in such matters. RAILWAY AGENCIES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sir,—Being much engaged in the making and manage ment of railways, I would feel obligud.if any of your readers could inform me, what proportion the amount paid for agencies generally bears to that paid for labour during the making of railways ; also the proportion that the agencies bear to the REVENUE after railways are in operation. Your's, AN INQUIRER. SOUTHAMPTON-SUN DAY. Our railway is proceeding now rapidly towards its comple tion, and a new Steam Company is about to be furmed in this town, for building more boats to run from this port to the Isle of Wight ; the shares arc to be 1501. each. It is proposed : that a steamer full as largo es the George IV. shall leave Southampton for Cowes every two hours, so much more in creased accommodation being required; but this is not all, a great alteration must be made in the amount charged for the passage; it is now extravagantly high, and the Company will not secure the continuance of this passage to themselves if they require such CIFiI*MOU3 profit. Died on Friday, the 13th inst., James Hoskins Knight, aged 61. He had for 30 years conveyed the Isle of Wi g h t mails in his vessels, and was one of the principal proprietors-of the steamers running between this port and Cowes, Ryde, and Portsmouth. lie was perhaps one of the most attentive men to his numerous passengers that ever commanded a pass age vessel ; too man could be more respected. Ho died pos sessed of considerable property. A schooner, loaded with iron, from Newport (Wales), bound to London, was on shore at the back of the Wight yesterday ; but has been got off apparently with little dama ge, and arrived in Cowes-roads this day.
